Our Thoughts

The 2013 Hinckley Talaria 34 represents a refined approach to coastal cruising and day boating, distilled into an elegant 35.92-foot platform that balances entertaining space with practical overnighting capability. GLORY exemplifies the thoughtful design philosophy that defines the Talaria 34—conceived as a simpler, more accessible companion to Hinckley's larger Picnic Boat 37, yet retaining the same generous cockpit and pilothouse footprint that makes entertaining and extended day use genuinely pleasurable.

Hull, Construction & Seaworthiness

Built using Hinckley's proprietary DualGuard Plus composite construction, the hull features an aramid fiber and E-glass outer skin over Corecell M foam core, reinforced with carbon fiber and E-glass internal structure and laminated via the Seaman Composite Resin Infusion Molding (SCRIMP) process. This approach delivers strength and durability while maintaining the light weight critical to jet propulsion efficiency. The deck follows a similar composite schedule with E-glass skins and foam core, finished in light cream gelcoat with molded-in nonskid. The Flag Blue Awlgrip topsides and single cream boot stripe create a classic, understated aesthetic enhanced by varnished teak accents that frame the boat's refined lines without visual clutter. A heavy-duty fiberglass swim platform with teak treads, stainless steel supports, and a telescoping three-step folding ladder provide secure water access, while molded quarter guards and a transom handrail complete the safety infrastructure.

Propulsion & Handling

Twin Yammer 6BY3 diesel engines rated at 260 horsepower each drive Hamilton 241 jet drives—the defining feature of this platform. The jet propulsion system delivers exceptional maneuverability and shallow-water capability essential for exploring Maine's coastal bays and harbors, with impellers reconditioned by Hamilton Jet in 2024. The proprietary Hinckley JetStick II control system integrates forward and aft motion, steering, and bow thruster functions into a single intuitive joystick, adding heading-hold capability for refined station-keeping. This joystick-centric interface makes the boat easy and rewarding to maneuver in tight quarters and challenging conditions. Twin ZF transmissions, proportional hydraulic bow thruster, and dual hydraulic PTO pumps (one per engine) provide redundancy and responsive control. Dual cylinder stainless steel trim tabs with helm-mounted indicator controls optimize running attitude and fuel efficiency across sea states. The boat cruises comfortably at 25 knots and achieves 29 knots maximum speed, balancing range and efficiency for extended coastal exploration.

Pilothouse & Helm

The pilothouse is the operational and social heart of the vessel. Four oversized frameless stainless steel windows—two fixed forward and two light green tinted manual sliding side panels—provide exceptional visibility and natural light. Heavy-duty self-parking intermittent windshield wipers and fresh water washers keep the forward view clear. Two oversized low-profile aluminum hatches overhead flood the space with additional light and ventilation, while insulated white overhead panels and five low-voltage halogen lights on dimmers create a bright, comfortable environment. Stamoid ivory three-piece drop curtains with Eisenglass windows fully enclose the pilothouse for weather protection.

The helm station features a varnished teak instrument pod, stainless steel wheel with varnished wood rim, and the integrated

2013 Hinckley Talaria 34 for Sale in Southwest Harbor, Maine
The 2013 Hinckley Talaria 34, *GLORY*, represents a masterclass in coastal cruising design—a vessel engineered for those who value elegant simplicity, responsive handling, and the ability to explore shallow-draft Maine harbors and protected bays. At 35.92 feet in length with a 10.75-foot beam, this pilothouse cruiser balances day-boating comfort with genuine overnight accommodations, delivered through Hinckley's signature composite construction and integrated jet propulsion system.
Overview
Hinckley's Talaria 34 was conceived as a refined alternative to the larger Picnic Boat 37, retaining the same spacious cockpit and pilothouse layout while introducing a more compact, simplified interior. *GLORY* exemplifies that philosophy: enough varnished teak detailing to accentuate the boat's elegant profile, a shallow-draft jet drive configuration that opens coastal exploration to areas inaccessible to conventional hulls, and a pilothouse environment scaled for both entertaining and serious passage-making. The vessel has spent the last five seasons actively cruising Maine waters, with consistent winter storage inside, and is now scheduled for a complete Hinckley JetBoat service package at the company's Southwest Harbor facility.
Hull, Deck, and Construction
*GLORY* is built using Hinckley's proprietary DualGuard Plus composite construction, combining aramid fiber and E-glass outer skins with Corecell M foam core and carbon fiber/E-glass internal structure. This lamination method—Seaman Composite Resin Infusion Molding Process (SCRIMP)—creates a lightweight yet rigid hull that contributes to the boat's responsive handling and fuel efficiency. The topsides are finished in Flag Blue Awlgrip with a Light Cream gelcoat cabin house and deck featuring molded-in nonskid surfaces. A single Cream boot stripe and green bottom paint complete the classic Hinckley aesthetic. The deck layout reflects the builder's attention to practical cruising. A flush foredeck anchor locker with hinged hatch provides secure ground tackle stowage. The rounded, tapered varnished teak toe rail carries Hinckley's distinctive profile, while varnished teak eyebrow molding frames the cabin top. Custom 316L stainless steel bow chocks, fixed mooring cleats at bow and stern, and "pull-up" mid-rail cleats with additional small cleats forward of the cockpit support secure anchoring and docking. Fender padeyes with chafe strips are integrated into the toe rails. The fiberglass swim platform, painted to match the hull with teak treads and stainless steel supports, features a telescoping 3-step folding ladder that stores beneath the platform. Quarter guards extend forward from the swim platform, and a stainless steel handrail runs across the transom. The pilothouse top carries a Hinckley-designed fiberglass mast with radome, GPS antenna, and an ACR RCL-50B spotlight, all painted to match the deck color. Ventilation and natural light are managed through three fixed ports on the cabin house sides, one opening port in the head with screen, one low-profile aluminum hatch with removable screen in the forward cabin house, and two oversized low-profile aluminum hatches in the pilothouse roof.
Cockpit Design and Entertaining Space
The cockpit is the social hub of *GLORY*, featuring forward and aft-facing seats that maximize both entertaining capacity and watchkeeping comfort. A starboard transom door provides direct access to the swim platform, essential for quick water access or tending to ground tackle. Ample storage beneath the transom seat accommodates fenders, dock lines, and seasonal gear. A hot and cold mixing valve shower at the transom door allows rinsing off after swimming or fishing. A cooler with hinged lid sits on the aft deck for provisions and beverages. Two Clarion system speakers mounted in the cockpit kickwells, connected to a dedicated amplifier with volume controls, deliver entertainment throughout the outdoor space.

A new 2022 Stamoid cockpit mooring cover with door and vents attaches to the pilothouse roof, protecting the entire outdoor area when the vessel is unattended.
Pilothouse and Helm Environment
The pilothouse is the command center and day-cabin hybrid, enclosed by four custom oversized frameless stainless steel windows—two fixed front windows and two light green tinted manual sliding side windows. Heavy-duty, self-parking intermittent windshield wipers with fresh water washers keep the front windows clear in all conditions. Two oversized low-profile aluminum hatches in the overhead provide ventilation and light, while five overhead low-voltage halogen lights on dimmers allow flexible illumination for day or evening use. Teak ladder-backed helm and passenger seats with adjustable pedestals painted to match the deck provide ergonomic positioning. Cushioned settees port and starboard offer additional seating, with storage underneath each. Four cup holders are strategically placed throughout the pilothouse. A varnished teak locking companionway door controls access to the interior, while a removable drop-leaf table with mounts in both the pilothouse and cockpit serves dining and chart-work functions. Stamoid Ivory 3-piece drop curtains with Eisenglass windows can fully enclose the pilothouse for weather protection. The starboard helm station centers on a varnished teak instrument pod and a stainless steel steering wheel with varnished wood rim. The integrated Hinckley JetStick II joystick control system manages forward and aft motion, steering, and bow thruster operation through a single intuitive interface, with heading hold functionality that maintains course without constant wheel input. Engine gauges include tachometer with digital engine data display, oil pressure, cooling water temperature, and fuel level indicators. A control for the remote masthead spotlight and a 12-volt cigarette-style outlet sit within easy reach, while storage compartments beneath each helm seat provide secure stowage for electronics, documents, and personal items.
Helm Electronics and Navigation
*GLORY* is equipped with an upgraded Raymarine e125 multifunction color display serving as radar, chart plotter, and depth finder. The system integrates a 4kW digital radome and Differential GPS antenna painted to match the deck, ensuring precise positioning and chart overlay in all conditions. A Raymarine p70R autopilot interfaces directly with the GPS/chartplotter, allowing hands-free cruising on longer passages. An additional Raymarine i70 instrument display provides engine and system monitoring independent of the main chartplotter. Navigation is supported by a standard Horizon VHF radio with command microphone at the helm, an ACR LED remote control spotlight (upgraded in 2024), and a Ritchie compass mounted at the helm for traditional backup navigation.
Entertainment Systems
A Clarion FM/CD satellite receiver-ready stereo with iPod connection is housed in the helm storage area, serving as the primary entertainment hub. Four Clarion speakers—two in the pilothouse and two in the V-berth area—distribute audio throughout the vessel. The cockpit speakers provide outdoor entertainment during entertaining or daytime cruising.
Interior Layout and Accommodations
The interior is finished in satin-varnished cherry with a cabin sole of varnished teak and tulipwood. The overhead features V-groove cherry trim, and all locker doors are varnished cherry with louvered upper sections for ventilation. Five stainless steel LED bulkhead lights, switched at each fixture, provide efficient illumination throughout the cabin. Entry from the pilothouse companionway leads directly to the galley (port), private head (starboard), and forward V-berth accommodations. This logical flow separates sleeping quarters from day-use spaces while maintaining a compact footprint.

What makes the 2013 Hinckley Talaria 34 different from other pilothouse cruising boats in this size range?
The Talaria 34 was designed as a simpler, more streamlined version of Hinckley's Picnic Boat 37, maintaining the same generous cockpit and pilothouse layout for entertaining and day use while offering a more compact, manageable interior that still accommodates comfortable overnight stays. This philosophy means you get substantial social spaces without the complexity or operational demands of a larger vessel. The boat's construction uses Hinckley's DualGuard Plus Composite system with aramid fiber and carbon fiber reinforcement, which delivers durability and light weight. At 35.92 feet with a 10.75-foot beam, the Talaria 34 balances cruising capability with the shallow draft that allows exploration of coastal Maine's bays and harbors—a practical advantage for owners who value access to protected anchorages and less-developed waterways.
How does the JetStick II control system affect handling and maneuverability?
The JetStick II integrates forward and aft motion, steering, and bow thruster control into a single intuitive joystick, eliminating the need to manage separate throttle, transmission, and steering inputs during docking or tight maneuvering. This system adds "heading hold" functionality, which maintains your directional orientation automatically—particularly useful in windy conditions or when you want to hold position without constant helm input. Combined with the twin Hamilton 241 Jet Drives powered by Yammer 6BY3 diesel engines rated at 260 horsepower each, the boat responds precisely to joystick inputs. The proportional hydraulic 7-inch bow thruster provides additional lateral thrust for sideways movement. This control architecture makes the Talaria 34 rewarding to maneuver even in confined spaces, and the jet drive propulsion eliminates traditional propeller vulnerability in shallow-water exploration.
What electronics and navigation systems are installed on this vessel?
The helm station features a Raymarine e125 multifunction color display that serves as your primary radar, chartplotter, and depth finder, paired with a 4-kilowatt digital radome and Differential GPS antenna for precise positioning. A Raymarine p70R autopilot interfaces directly with the GPS and chartplotter, allowing hands-free cruising on longer passages. The i70 instrument display provides engine and system data at a glance, while a standard Horizon VHF radio with command microphone keeps you connected to other vessels and shore stations. An ACR LED remote control spotlight (upgraded in 2024) mounted on the pilothouse mast aids nighttime navigation and docking. A Ritchie compass provides traditional backup navigation. This electronics suite represents a capable, integrated system suitable for coastal cruising with confidence in both good and challenging conditions.
How is the pilothouse designed for comfort during extended cruising?
The pilothouse is enclosed with four oversized frameless stainless steel windows—two fixed forward and two light green tinted manual sliding side windows—that provide excellent visibility while protecting occupants from weather. Heavy-duty self-parking intermittent windshield wipers with fresh water washers keep the forward view clear. The overhead features two oversized low-profile aluminum hatches with removable screens for ventilation, and five low-voltage halogen lights on dimmers allow you to adjust lighting for different times of day and activities. Teak ladder-backed helm and passenger seats with adjustable pedestals offer ergonomic support during long helm watches, while cushioned settees port and starboard provide comfortable seating for crew or guests. A removable drop-leaf teak table serves both the pilothouse and cockpit for meals or chart work. Storage under the settees on both sides keeps gear organized, and four cup holders positioned throughout the pilothouse support practical day-to-day use. Stamoid ivory drop curtains with Eisenglass windows can fully enclose the space for weather protection.
What is the cabin layout and how well does it support overnight cruising?
The interior below is accessed from the pilothouse companionway and flows logically: galley to port, private head to starboard, and V-berth accommodations forward. The galley features a single-burner electric stove with removable Corian cover, a front-loading stainless steel refrigerator, a microwave oven, and a single under-mounted stainless steel bowl with single-lever faucet. A large pantry locker and multiple drawers provide ample storage for provisions. The head includes a molded fiberglass sole for easy cleaning, a Grohe faucet with hand-held shower for hot and cold pressure water, a 12-volt Vacuflush marine head plumbed to a 28-gallon holding tank, and cherry-faced storage lockers above and below the counter. The forward V-berth accommodates two people comfortably with a removable insert and includes storage lockers under the berth accessible from both port and starboard sides, plus an overhead opening hatch for ventilation. The entire interior is finished in satin-varnished cherry with a teak and tulipwood cabin sole, creating a warm, traditional aesthetic that ages well. This layout prioritizes functionality over sprawl, making the space feel intimate rather than cramped during overnight stays.
What are the fuel and water capacities, and how do they support cruising range?
The Talaria 34 carries 160 gallons of fuel in a single polyethylene tank and 35 gallons of fresh water in a dedicated polyethylene tank with a remote gauge. At a cruising speed of 25 knots, these capacities support multi-day coastal cruising without requiring frequent refueling stops—a practical advantage for Maine cruising where fuel docks can be spaced far apart. The fuel system includes a Mylar-faced acoustical foam-lined insulation in the engine room to reduce heat and noise. The water system includes a 3-gallon stainless steel hot water heater that can be heated by shore power or the engines, ensuring hot water for showers and galley use throughout your cruise. The 28-gallon holding tank with deck pump-out fitting allows you to manage waste responsibly and comply with environmental regulations in protected anchorages.
How is the cockpit configured for entertaining and daily use?
The cockpit is designed with wonderful seating featuring both forward and aft-facing seats, allowing guests to enjoy the surroundings while remaining protected from the elements. A transom door provides easy access to the swim platform for swimming or water sports. Ample storage beneath the transom seat keeps fenders, dock lines, and other gear organized and out of sight. A cockpit shower with hot and cold mixing valve at the transom door allows rinsing off after swimming or cleaning the boat. A hinged-lid cooler on the aft deck keeps beverages and food cold during day trips. Two Clarion system speakers in the cockpit kickwells with a dedicated amplifier and volume controls deliver entertainment, while courtesy lights on dimmer switches in the kickwells plus a cockpit step light provide safe nighttime movement. A new Stamoid mooring cover with door and vents (added in 2022) attaches to the pilothouse roof and protects the cockpit from weather when the boat is unattended. This configuration makes the cockpit equally suitable for quiet morning coffee, afternoon entertaining, or evening gatherings.
What mechanical systems and redundancy does the Talaria 34 provide for reliability?
The propulsion system uses twin Yammer 6BY3 diesel engines rated at 260 horsepower each, paired with Hamilton 241 Jet Drives whose impellers were reconditioned by Hamilton Jet in 2024. Twin ZF transmissions manage power delivery, while dual hydraulic PTO pumps—one on each engine—supply fluid to operate the bow thruster, water jets, and steering system, providing redundancy so a single engine failure does not disable critical systems. Trim tabs with indicator controls at the helm allow you to adjust the boat's running attitude for optimal fuel efficiency and comfort. The electrical system features two 12-volt AGM Group 31 start batteries with 880 CCA each (new in 2024) and one 12-volt AGM house battery rated at 210 amps (new in 2022), supported by two 150-amp alternators—one dedicated to house batteries and one to start batteries. A heavy-duty battery parallel switch allows emergency starting from house batteries if needed. Three electric 1500-GPH bilge pumps with float switches and high-water alarms provide redundant dewatering capability. An automatic engine compartment fire suppression system with automatic engine shutdown offers protection in the unlikely event of an engine fire. These overlapping systems reflect Hinckley's engineering philosophy that reliability comes from thoughtful redundancy rather than hoping nothing fails.
What are the engine specifications and how do they support the boat's performance envelope?
Twin Yammer 6BY3 diesel engines deliver 260 horsepower each, providing a combined 520 horsepower that propels the Talaria 34 to a maximum speed of 29 knots and a comfortable cruising speed of 25 knots. Diesel engines are preferred for long-distance cruising because they deliver better fuel economy than gasoline engines of comparable power, produce less heat, and offer superior torque characteristics for sustained operation. The Hamilton 241 Jet Drives eliminate traditional propellers, reducing draft and vulnerability to underwater hazards—a significant advantage when exploring Maine's rocky coastlines and shallow-water anchorages. Engine gauges at the helm display fuel level, oil pressure, cooling water temperature, and tachometer with digital engine data, allowing you to monitor system health continuously. The custom Vernatone MK II muffler with surge chamber keeps engine noise at reasonable levels, and Mylar-faced acoustical foam-lined insulation in the engine room further reduces vibration and noise transmission to living spaces. A baffled and insulated air intake ensures clean, cool air reaches the engines for optimal combustion.
What deck hardware and ground tackle systems support safe anchoring and mooring?
The ground tackle system includes a polished stainless steel anchor roller with a 12-volt windlass controlled from both the helm station and a handheld wireless remote, allowing you to deploy and retrieve anchor from the pilothouse or cockpit. A Delta stainless steel anchor is paired with 25 feet of stainless steel chain and 150 feet of mega braid rode—a combination that provides excellent holding in sand and mud while the braid rode reduces weight and allows easier manual handling if the windlass fails. Fixed 316L stainless steel mooring cleats and "pull-up" mid-rail cleats, plus two additional small cleats forward of the cockpit, provide multiple attachment points for dock lines and mooring pendants. Fender padeyes with chafe strips on the toe rails protect the hull when alongside other boats or docks. The rounded, tapered varnished teak toe rail follows the Hinckley profile and integrates fender attachment points. Quarter guards painted to match the hull extend forward from the swim platform, protecting the topsides from dock contact. A stainless steel handrail on the transom provides secure footing when boarding from the water or working on the swim platform. This hardware suite reflects decades of Maine cruising experience and supports both casual day-sailing and extended coastal passages.
How does the Talaria 34's construction and materials support long-term durability and ease of maintenance?
The hull uses Hinckley's DualGuard Plus Composite construction, which combines an aramid fiber and E-glass outer skin with Corecell M foam core and carbon fiber/E-glass internal structure, all laminated with vinylester resin using the Seaman Composite Resin Infusion Molding (SCRIMP) process. This construction method produces a strong, lightweight hull that resists osmotic blistering and absorbs impact energy better than traditional solid laminate. The deck similarly uses E-glass outer and inner skins with Corecell M foam core, laminated using SCRIMP. The topsides are finished in Flag Blue Awlgrip, a premium two-part polyurethane paint that provides superior gloss retention and UV protection compared to standard gelcoat. The cabin house and deck feature Light Cream gelcoat with molded-in nonskid, eliminating the need for adhesive-backed non-slip tape that can trap moisture and degrade the surface. Varnished teak accents—including the toe rail, eyebrow molding around the cabin top, ladder-backed seats, and companionway door—add visual warmth and require periodic maintenance, but teak's natural oils make it more forgiving than other brightwork. Stainless steel hardware throughout (handrails, cleats, chocks, half-rounds) resists corrosion in the marine environment. A low-resistance copper wire bonding system with sacrificial zinc anodes and a zinc saver protects the underwater metals from galvanic corrosion. This combination of advanced composite construction, premium finishes, and thought
